Mindi Bach:

Aside from having a Harbaugh as HC, wild that Balt/SF both won w/ 28 pts, both shut out opponent in 2nd half, both led by #52 in tackles

"Came out of college and had knee injury after knee injury, but kept fighting," Gore said. "Same as this team. We kept fighting from '05 to now, being the laughed-at team in the league to one of the best. It feels great."

So cool for these guys that have been through the bad years.

Three in a row. The 49ers have won three games in a row for the first time all season. They are looking to become the first team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl without posting three or more consecutive victories during the regular season. The Ravens had two four-game winning streaks during the season. They've won three in a row during the postseason after losing four of their final five to close the regular season.

Interesting.

get the point the HC needs to remain calm, in control, and have their wits about him........in the most emotional of situations. cause the team needs to move on and get organized for the next play, they can't stand around complaining about the call.

that said, felt that replay was an EASY, conclusive overturn. what the heck was the justification for confirming the call on the field?

Ravens post game made it seem like they win it all already

That's the way it's been the last three weeks.

Who else is looking forward to Bryant McKinnie trying to block Aldon Smith?

I'm just looking for Aldon Smith to get the fuck off the back of my milk carton. Did he even suit up?

Ah yes, the breakdown-by-sack-numbers rationale.

Smith Rediscovers Some Form

Ever since talk started about his potential to set a new record for sacks, Aldon Smith’s productivity and performance level has disappeared back toward mediocrity. Smith has not recorded a sack since the 49ers’ Week 14 win over the Dolphins, and in that time his overall grade has been a disappointing -2.0, with only three quarterback hits to his name. While Smith again failed to take the quarterback down, he turned in one of his best performances of the season by recording pressure seven times (2 Hits, 5 Hurries) and being a persistent nuisance to the Falcons’ running game, even though he recorded only one tackle. He was able to get penetration into the backfield to force redirects and helped ensure the Falcons could never control the tempo with the lead. Smith even spent some time in an interior alignment, over Peter Konz, late in the second quarter, and recorded pressure from there on the Falcons’ final touchdown drive. The 49ers’ defense tends to be fairly straight laced but it would be fascinating to see Smith get a few snaps over Marshal Yanda on obvious passing situations in New Orleans.

This extra week of rest will be a blessing for several of our players, especially Justin Smith.

Also for Roman & Harbaugh the gameplan they are going to cook up is going to be crazy man crazy

this just in, Ray Lewis and Bisciotti will be getting married during half time. Flacco is the brides made.
